Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 164 IQ Test
Here, 32 NFL teams gathered at the Lucas Oil Arena. Although this was just a rookie training camp, the undercurrent of the draft had already begun to spread quietly.

Over there, the young players, under the watchful eyes of millions of people, continued their tests step by step.

After taking the urine test, the running backs team bustled into the next room, and from a distance they could see the quarterbacks team blocking the corridor.

Right now, they are about to conduct a special test session dedicated to rugby——

Von Derrick test.

This is a highly reliable and brief measure of general intellectual ability that measures verbal, numerical and spatial abilities, and problem-solving skills.

The entire test lasts twelve minutes and consists of fifty questions with a full score of fifty points.

This test is very similar to the IQ test that people are familiar with in daily life, but it is simpler and more targeted. A test score of 20 points is the average IQ, which is equivalent to 100 points in an IQ test.

In professional football games, the tactical manual is complex and diverse, with as many as 20,000 tactics. An offensive and defensive confrontation may involve a variety of tactical combinations, which requires every player to fully master the tactical manual - mastering it is not enough to just read it or memorize it.

It is this ability that Von Derrick tests, spatial reading, comprehension, problem solving, logical reasoning, and so on.

Among them, the quarterback is undoubtedly the top priority.

Because the quarterback is the core position of the entire team, he is the only one who is required to master the entire tactical manual, from offense to defense. Of course, defense is just reading, while offense must be understood thoroughly.

NCAA relies on talent, NFL relies on brains.

In the professional league, Johnny Manziel is not the first quarterback who was eliminated or even retired because he could not master the tactical manual and could not keep up with the team's tactical changes. It is precisely because of this that the Vondrick test may have a direct impact on the draft pick of the quarterback.

Of course, this is just a measurement.

A perfect score of 50 does not mean that you are a talented quarterback; similarly, a score of 20 points below the average does not mean the end of your career. It all depends on the specific situation and it ultimately varies from person to person.

After years of testing, there is an average score for each position on the court. As long as it reaches this level, there will basically be no problem.

The player with the highest average score is not the quarterback, but the offensive tackle, with an average score of twenty-six points; while the quarterback's average score is twenty-four points.

The lowest average scores were for running backs, with full backs averaging 17 points and half backs averaging 16 points.

This one detail shows that it is no wonder that running backs are generally used as meat shields or bulldozers. "Muscle" has become their label.

Not the brain anyway.

For reference, in real life, the average score for other positions is 26 for journalists and 27 for programmers.

The twelve-minute test went faster than expected. There were fifty questions, and each one did not give me much time to think. I had to rely on my instincts. Before I had time to react, the test was already completed.

The test results come out on the spot, are updated in real time, and are recorded in a book. Like other training camp test data, they will accompany the players throughout their careers.

"Wow, that's really hard."

"…It seems that there hasn't been a single one with a score of over 30 so far."

"Who knows what to choose for question three? Who knows?"

"Is the answer to the last question..."

"It's over, it's over. I think I filled in the wrong answer."

The chattering in the corridor could not be stopped, and they were taken back to their middle school days in a second - after the exams, one by one, they gathered at the door of the classroom to discuss, and asked the top students in the class to try to confirm their own exam results. For a brief moment, they temporarily forgot that they were competitors in the talent show and were all poor students facing the pressure of exams.

But who should they ask here?
There is no reference object.

As soon as Levi left the room, Mahomes could be seen in the crowd, smiling, raising his right hand high and waving it, and he took the initiative to squeeze over.

Levi looked at Mahomes jumping up and down, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "It seems that the test results are good?"

"Haha." Mahomes laughed heartlessly, "Actually, I screwed up."

Without saying anything more, Mahomes showed Levi the results of his Vondrick test.

Twenty-four points, just enough to suppress the quarterback's average score.

Looking at the score and then looking at Mahomes' smile, one can't help but feel a sense of humor in the contrast. Is this something worth being happy about?
Mahomes noticed Levi's expression and waved his hands. "I just don't like studying or taking exams, so I chose sports. It's okay, it's okay. At least I scored the quarterback average, which is just enough to pass, right? Haha, I didn't think I could pass."

This is also a perspective.

A smile flashed in Levi's eyes, and he nodded in agreement, "Do your best in the next physical test, and we'll see what we can do."

Mahomes smiled and nodded repeatedly, looking ready to go. "This year, the test results of Vondrick are generally not good. The expressions of the scouts are all terrible. The stands are depressed and the situation is serious. What about you? How are the test results? Ah, I shouldn't worry about you. You must have easily killed the test in seconds."

Levi chuckled, "It seems that my performance on the court is still not impressive enough, so that you all think that I play with my brain, right?"

Mahomes blinked his eyes. "Isn't this a good thing? You are not one of those players who only rely on muscles but no brains."

Diagonally behind, five steps away.

Fornet only felt that his back was full of arrows, like a porcupine, and looked down at his Vondrick test results.

Eleven points.

The number was so glaring that he wanted to tear the test results into pieces.

A little ahead, Kamala also glanced at the result of his Von Derrick test, twenty-four points, and a smile crept up on the corners of his mouth.

As a running back, his Vondrick test was far above average, even on par with the quarterback average, which immediately made Kamara straighten his back.

Kamara had just secretly asked around among his competitors. Cook had 11 points, Mixon had 12 points, and they were about the same as Fournette.

A bunch of raccoon dogs.

He glanced at Levi. Although he was talking and laughing with Mahomes, Levi never told him his test results. Could it be that Levi also failed?
Thinking of this, Kamara was secretly delighted. He was ready to step forward and slap Levi in ​​the face to dampen that guy's arrogance. As long as he could defeat Levi head-on in the rookie training camp and completely suppress Levi with his data and performance, the teams would see his value and his draft pick would soar.

Kamala took a deep breath and took a step forward.

At this moment, McCaffrey walked out of the room, walked straight towards Levi and Mahomes, stood behind Levi, looked over his shoulder, his eyes fell on the test results in Levi's hand, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Jesus Christ, full marks!"

The air is a little quiet.
